Validation of the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) in a Central‐European Population for the Prediction of Cumulative Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes Over 8‐Years—Follow‐Up of the Budakalász Health Examination Survey (BHES)
Validation and recalibration are important steps before using the FINDRISC in a population different from the derivation cohort. Omission of some variables (physical activity, fruit and vegetable consumption, and family history of diabetes) that are not readily available did not significantly worsen the performance of the model. FINDRISC may not be a good predictor of incident diabetes in older populations.
